Before Us by Duncan Alex
An uplifting album choc full of funky and smooth numbers, it somehow manages to sprinkle 6 awesome decades of varied influences over Duncan Alex’s own incredibly original and invigorating alternative prog pop/rock/RnB compositions. Smooth vocals are set against 70's/80's- style vocoder and fluid, gritty guitar riffing by Exmouth local guitar hero Ian Davey, underpinned by alternately warm and foot stomping basslines. This musical adventure has several surprises in store - such as the husky tones of guest vocalist Jess Hatton-Brown. It starts great and gets even better, rewarding repeated listens, leaving you wanting more. BBC radio described the track ‘Before Us’ as, “So much happening that it shouldn’t work but it flippin' well does…we don’t know how you do it, just keep doing it!” - So say we all.
